Alright then so if you want to fight an epic war against your evil
cousins, you're allowed.  :-)  (And even then it should be noted that
Jnani or not, according to the Mahabharata Arjuna and his brothers spent

Certainly Shankaracharya didn't mean to excuse every common terrorist or
cigarette vendor.  (See the commentary on 4.21 )
